Hmmm... How do you think this would do pulling skiers??
Or you could use it as a houseboat and tie a nautique up to it! ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=421&yrstart=1981&yrend=1985 - EX-NAUTI84 |

That is a Terra Wind Amphibious Motor Home. A national manufacturer. Sell for $850,000 to $1.2 MM.
http://www.terrawind.com/terrawind.htm - terra wind Definitely would make for a fun weekend on the water (vintage CC in tow) Although it is a cool idea, its a big money manufactured thing. This one sort of caught my fancy a little more, because this was a one man operation, built in his garage out of an old milk tanker trailer. This was built in the town I lived in back in NY in the early 90s. I got to see it on its maiden voyage and follow up shake down cruises. His goal was to drive it around the world, but never made it beyond the carribbean and south america. No money to make the trip. The guy was quite a craftsman. The tanker housed the diesel engine and small living quarters.
